Development Team

Middle School (ages 12-14)

Want to Learn to Row? We offer Learn-to-row programs for Middle School students.
You learn basic rowing skills on land and water. Once you get the knack of it, you can transition onto the Development-Experienced Team.

The Development Experienced Team is a non-competitive rowing program for Middle School students. Emphasis is on rowing technique, boat handling, physical conditioning, teamwork and fun as well as preparation for The High School Racing Team. Some on-water rowing experience is required (see our Learn-to-Row programs below if you are new to the sport).

For program fees, see below in registration area. Registration, waiver and payment is expected by first day of participation. Late payments are subject to a $100 penalty. Athletes without current registration, waivers and other required paperwork will not be allowed to participate until all paperwork is submitted.

Please consider adding a donation to the Matthew Zucker Memorial Fund which provides outreach programs and financial aid for athletes who need the support. Give another athlete the chance to row.

Online registration is only available for those who wish to pay by credit card or PayPal. If you wish to pay by check, please contact the office [call: 203-866-0080 ext 4, or email: info (at) norwalkriverrowing (dot ) org]. They will be happy to accommodate you.

Note – athletes are not eligible to participate in rowing or other training activities until registration has been completed, payment (or payment plan) made and medical paperwork completed.
